Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.Paula Radcliffe will be challenged by Susan Chepkemei, the woman she outsprinted in the final 100 metres of last November's New York mara-thon, when she seeks a third Flora London title on 17 April.
The Kenyan, who finished sixth in the Edinburgh Cross Country won on Saturday by Ethiopia's Tirunesh Dibaba, has been signed up by organisers, who have also secured the services of Margaret Okayo and Joyce Chepchumba, both former winners, and former world record holder Tegla Loroupe.
Chepkemei could not match 19-year-old Dibaba, who retained her title over the 6.2km course, beating Australia's reigning World Cross Country champion Benita Johnson.
In the men's events, the Geordie runner Nick McCormick won the four kilometres race, while the main event, over 9.2km, went to Kenya's 20-year-old Eliud Kipchoge.
